UNIVERSAL DESIGN LIVING LABORATORY

Seven years of research into the area of universal design transformed us. The process led to a belief that we could share our research and knowledge and our home to make a significant and positive difference in the lives of others. We were passionate about finding a way to share what we had learned with others... We made a deposit on a home site and looked for the finest design, construction and consulting talent available... After five years, Mark and I realized that our existing home was never going to fully meet my need for independence, so we decided to build a new home. We toured model homes all over the Columbus, Ohio area in search of a lot. We interviewed builders and reviewed floor plans. No universal design features were included in these models and few options were presented to us by the builders. We became very discouraged by the prospect of living in a home that frustrated me and limited my life.
